This is My Life For Hire


Last night at around 9:30 I sat in my car as traffic whizzed past me listening to a new album by my favorite band A Day To Remember. The music this band makes really gets to me on a personal level because i feel i can relate to many of the lyrics about being lied to, cheated, and deserted. As i sat and pondered the lyrics of a new song titled "My Life For Hire" passed through my stereo speakers. 

"Somebody Give Me A Sign... That Everything Is Going As Planned." I sat back and started the song again to clearly make out primary lyricist Jeremy Mckinnon's vocal harmony over the thick chug of dropped tuned guitars and double bass drum patterns. Once i heard the line i could only relate to my previous thoughts on how my life was moving. 

Dealing with death, heartbreak and love in life you always sit back and wonder if everything is going to be ok.Most people say "It All Happens For A Reason!" I do truly believe in that statement but what reason does it all happen for I ask. 

As the lyrics passed through the airwaves i analyzed even more. The lyrics to me give presence that as singing these words we don't know where live will take us and what will happen. We don't even know if this is how its even supposed to be. Life is a battle ground. We just need signals to show us the reason for which everything is happening for.
